I know there's a lib inside my head and he must be killed but some part of me always feels bad when if I think about pirating indie games. One time not so long ago I got groceries delivered like the bougie scum that I am and there was a legitimate fuckup in the delivery process, so I claimed it an ordered a replacement order. Just after the claim process was completed the delivery got dropped off and I felt bad because I was getting more than I should have and I worried that I might have gotten the delivery driver in trouble accidentally. I probably need to be more ruthless or something but I feel like I'm not really built that way. It's only when someone is an irredeemable piece of shit that I can get past this mental block in me.
It might not help in the now, but there's always the "delayed payment" method. Go and buy a copy when you can afford it, encourage others to get it
Also, if it makes you feel any better, there's a number of devs who are happy people are just enjoying their creation, engaging with their art. It's great when it keeps you fed, but that's not where the passion to put that much dead time into something comes from. That passion comes from a love and drive for what you're creating and sharing with the world.

No ethical consumption I guess, but enjoy.
